Live Like I’m Free

a predilection for failure, a set of mistakes

a hot mess of no is what keeps me awake

as i stare into space thinking how it went wrong

reflecting on thoughts and moving along

to search through my house for a cure for my ills

so i pour out the water to wash down these pills

that help me to focus, that help me hang on

that remind me i'm human, that get me to dawn

so i lay head to pillow and shut down my mind

and let calm my body and so slips the time

and i feel once at peace, a sweet sense of rest

but eight hours hence comes forth my next test

and am i so ready to face the new day?

i'll do what i can, i'll do what they say

i'll do what they ask and i'll do what they need

and i'll do it correct and i'll do it with speed

and i'll better myself and i'll do it for me

and i'll love every moment and i'll live like i'm free
